La amistad de Shikamaru y Chouji realmente ha conseguido emocionarme。 Es una amistad tan pura y fuerte， basada en la confianza， respeto y admiración hacia el otro。。。realmente me hace muy feliz saber que Chouji tiene a alguien que confía plenamente en sus capacidades y su fuerza， pese a que ni él mismo sea capaz de verlo。 Ojalá este combate final acabe bien。 Sin duda alguna Chouji ha demostrado ser un ninja muy fuerte， cerrando el pico de todos aquellos que una vez lo subestimaron por su aspecto。

Sasuke has left Konoha， and now it's up to Shikamaru and a gang of genin to chase after him and the rest of the Sound Four。 Of course， the members are a mix of people we already have a familiarity with - which should make more fights interesting as Kishimoto has to find a new way to show off their strengths - as well as the various members we got brief glimpses of in the previous volume。The big higlight here is Choji！ Someone who's never been used outside of comic relief。 He's Shikamaru's best f Sasuke has left Konoha， and now it's up to Shikamaru and a gang of genin to chase after him and the rest of the Sound Four。 Of course， the members are a mix of people we already have a familiarity with - which should make more fights interesting as Kishimoto has to find a new way to show off their strengths - as well as the various members we got brief glimpses of in the previous volume。The big higlight here is Choji！ Someone who's never been used outside of comic relief。 He's Shikamaru's best friend， and no one can tell why but Shikamaru has completely faith in him。 He's the first fight of this arc， and it's a doozy。 Two big brawlers， the tankier members of each party， going out at it strength and size。 Other members of each squad have been highlighted for various techniques， like Shikamaru's Shadow Possession Jutsu or Neji's Byakugan on the Konoha side or Kidomaru's webs and Sakon's who-knows-what-this-is-but-it's-strange thing。 But Choji hasn't really done anything。 He is fat and can grow even bigger with body expansion？ That's not a lot to work with， so Kishimoto involves some special equipment that shows off Choji's unique talents。I like the structure of this arc。 It certainly has its flaws （like， why are there no useful female genin worth bringing along？） but it explores lesser used characters like Choji in great ways。 Even the most comedic-oriented characters can find a way to become strong！ And sure this is probably the last time that any of these characters will be relevant but I appreciate the supporting cast getting the spotlight。 。。。more

Molto bella la scena tra Sasuke e Sakura anche se triste， ma finalmente lei si è dichiarata♥️。 La storia è sempre più intrigante un personaggio che mi ha stupito per la sua forza， prontezza d’animo e per difendere a tutti i costi i suoi amici è Choji che si rivela più forte di quello che appare。Le inserzioni delle miniature di Sasuke e Sakura mi sono piaciute molto e sono molto carine。

I never expected Shikamaru to act authoritative as a leader because of his laid back and lazy personality so it was awesome to witness his character development。 That was really cool of him to take responsibility of his teammates' lives。 Now I understand why he was the only one to become Chunin out of the previous tournament。 I never expected Shikamaru to act authoritative as a leader because of his laid back and lazy personality so it was awesome to witness his character development。 That was really cool of him to take responsibility of his teammates' lives。 Now I understand why he was the only one to become Chunin out of the previous tournament。 。。。more

I want to take a moment and appreciate Shikamaru。 When they were doing the chunin exams earlier， we already know the commentators made points about his potential to be a leader。 In this volume， we see that in action。 Also what is really nice about the next few volumes is we see the skills and growth of Shikamaru， Choji， Kiba and Akamaru， and Neji。 Besides Shikamaru， we also see Choji and his potential。 I was amazed by his backstory and how far he has come。 Verdict: The chase for Sasuke is on！

wreaked havoc on Konohagakure; the Village Hidden in the Leaves， killing hundreds of honorable ninja in the skirmish and leaving many children without homes or parents。 The Fourth Hokage （leader of the village） unleashes a forbidden jutsu （magic spell/ninja ability） to seal the spirit of the evil fox into the body of a newborn baby named Naruto at the cost of his own life。 He did this in the hopes that the boy could one day learn to master the power of the demonic spirit and use it to protect the village and become a great hero of the people。Unknown to the citizens of the Leaf， the Nine Tailed Fox was being controlled by an even more powerful adversary， a legendary rogue ninja that plans to wage war against the entire world from the shadows。 The identity of the mysterious ninja that attacked the Leaf Village using the Nine Tails died with the Fourth Hokage， and he used what remained of his life to gift Naruto with the power of one day being able to stop this evil ninja and a clan of outlawed S-rank criminals called the Akatsuki from committing mass genocide against the many hidden villages and clans of the world。Because of the evil spirit sealed inside him， Naruto grew up hated by the other children of the village because they believe him and the Nine Tails to be one and the same。 They believe he’s a ticking time bomb waiting to go off， waiting for the perfect moment to kill them all just like the Nine Tails killed their parents and families。 Shunned， dehumanized and treated like dirt， Naruto vows to become the greatest hokage the world has ever seen so that he can receive the love and acknowledgement he never got as a child。On top of the Nine Tails power and the will to never quit， Naruto also possesses the uncanny ability to turn everyone he meets into a potential comrade。 He brings out the best in his peers and tries his hardest to make his enemies see the errors of their ways。 He disobeys the rules and ignores cultural traditions to try and make changes to the world and break the eternal cycle of war and hatred through his own methods。 His determination is infectious to friend and foe alike。 He earns himself the respect he deserves by overcoming one impossible obstacle at a time。Naruto encounters many fascinating and terrifying ninja over the course of his journey to become hokage。 Among them are Sasuke Uchiha， Naruto’s best friend and rival who is driven by the vengeful lust to murder his elder brother after he wiped out their own clan in cold blood。 Sasuke warms up to Naruto， but his hatred and trauma are dangerous forces that threaten to break his moral code as a ninja and destroy his reputation among his peers。Kakashi Hatake is a notorious copycat ninja that survived one of the most brutal and devastating wars in history as well as the Nine Tails attack on the Leaf Village。 He becomes Naruto and Sasuke’s mentor and teaches them a great number of valuable lessons about surviving in the dangerous world of rogue ninja， bloodthirsty assassins and clans ruled by corruption。Jiraiya is a perverted yet wise sage who taught the Fourth Hokage everything he knew and he’s regarded as a god among shinobi that’s famous for his heroic actions in the second great ninja war。 He takes an interest in Naruto and raises him as a father figure to carry on the legacy of the Fourth Hokage to prepare him for the many dangerous people that want to use his power for their own nefarious purposes。The Akatsuki is one such group of wicked ninja。 Among them are Sasuke’s brother Itachi who murdered his clan and possesses many dangerous techniques involving illusions， psychological torture and elemental manipulation。 Sasori who controls poisonous puppets with magical threads， Orochimaru who mastered the forbidden arts of reanimation and quasi-immortality， Deidara who fights from afar using detonating clay and many other deadly foes。The entire series chronicles Naruto and his fellow ninja comrades growing through countless trials and tragedies。 There are hundreds of unique jutsus， clans， and techniques which lead to some very intense， creative and strategic battles between skilled ninja with diverse abilities that don’t always match up evenly。 There are clan based abilities such as the Aburame clan’s ability to control insects， the Yamanaka clan’s ability to jump into other people’s minds and control their bodies and the Inuzuka clan’s ability to bond with wolves that learn to mimic their master’s battle skills。 Then there’s ocular genetic abilities such as the sharingan which allows the user to create psychological illusions， copy their enemy’s abilities and manipulate elemental energy。 The byakugan allows the user to read their enemies vital points and detect their spiritual energy from faraway。 The rinnegan grants control over space and gravity and so on。On top of having countless unique abilities， nearly every character has a tragic backstory that makes them sympathetic and relatable， even the nastiest of the villains have well-explored reasons for following the paths they do and becoming the way they are。 One of my favorite aspects of the series is how well it explores the physical， emotional and psychological effects war can have on society and culture as well as the survivors and future generations that are forced to live in them。 How it breeds racism and cultural disputes， how it inspires hatred in orphaned children and war veterans robbed of their homes toward foreign nations， as well as how this eventually leads to further death， war， poverty and destruction。 Learning to forgive the ones you hate to prevent further conflict and damaging the world for future generations even further is a major theme throughout the story。Being a massive 700 chapter series， it’s not too surprising that there’s some plot holes and consistency issues。 A rule might be stated regarding the requirements and usage of a certain jutsu or ability only for that rule to be repeatedly broken 400 chapters later。 Sometimes the characters and rules contradict themselves， sometimes the chronology of certain events and historical facts don’t match up perfectly， the lore and general backstory go through several retcons that change the philosophy and power scaling of the characters and the scope of world-building; the final arc especially drags on and breaks a lot of the logic and rules that the story spent the whole series setting up， etc。。。Naruto’s far from perfect， but I remember it very fondly for being one of the first series that introduced me to things like manga and Japanese entertainment in general。 It was one of those childhood classics like Dragon Ball， Inuyasha， Yu Yu Hakusho and Rurouni Kenshin。 The series grew up with me and I can’t help but feel grateful to it for introducing me to hundreds of other franchises that I’m still a huge fan of to this day and I continue to find many new ones on the regular。 Naruto's journey from a clownish， disrespected outcast into a talented， well-loved and admired hero is a memorable one。 。。。more

The world， lore， and cosmology of Naruto continues to build in entertaining and fascinating ways throughout the series， and that's what kept me reading through all 70-ought volumes， but the real genius is in the character development and the perfect pacing of that development。 Every character gets to have an arc of sorts and end their stories in places different from where they started。Also， of course， the fighting and action scenes are pretty good。 The world， lore， and cosmology of Naruto continues to build in entertaining and fascinating ways throughout the series， and that's what kept me reading through all 70-ought volumes， but the real genius is in the character development and the perfect pacing of that development。 Every character gets to have an arc of sorts and end their stories in places different from where they started。Also， of course， the fighting and action scenes are pretty good。 。。。more
